re: What is the difference between the older and newer bats.....

The real answer is the bats have the sweetspot the size of a baseball. Anything not struck perfectly on that spot isnt going anywhere at all. So anything with movement more than likely isn't going to be hit very hard. If struck on that perfect spot, it will fly just as far as -5 bats. Need an example of perfect contact? Check Florida's home run in the 8th on Friday last year.

The bat makes a shitty noise too. Not enough aluminum.
LOL. The aluminum 'noise', the laughable ping that should remind one of girl's softball or TeeBall, has always been a shitty, disgusting noise.

Pretty sure this is a pretty valid answer. Other teams seem to have adjusted well ... maybe it's the hitting coach as well?

Basically teams have to play real baseball. If you hit it well it will go but off sweet spot contact will act more like wood. It brings all teams back into play. You actually have to pitch well and take advantage of runners on base when you get them. I dont understand why this is hard to understand. All teams play with the same bats. Recruiting strategy may have to change.
